It would have been good if you would have removed this from linux-next
already.

Anyway, now I also had to spend quite some time to bisect why several test
suites just hang with linux-next. It's probably because of holidays that
you didn't get more bug reports.

On s390

- ltp
- elfutils selftests
- seccomp kernel selftests

hang with linux-next.

I bisected the problem to this patch using elfutils selftests:

git clone git://sourceware.org/git/elfutils.git
cd elfutils
autoreconf -fi
./configure --enable-maintainer-mode --disable-debuginfod
make -j $(nproc) > /dev/null
cd tests
make -j $(nproc) check

Note: I actually didn't verify if this also causes ltp+seccomp selftests
      to hang. I just assume it is the case.
